aviator41 ... do you have a brother named Brad in real estate in Denver?
Nope, I can't claim him.
ah - it was a long shot but everybody knows everybody on the innerwebz :) ... my friend Brad is an Okie (love the guy anyway!) and has a brother from near Mangum, OK who was a Navy pilot, I was Navy aircrew (E-2 Hawkeye) and we're all 3 private pilots ...
Wow, it is a small world. My Grandfather grew up in Mangum - this was well before WWII. In fact, their family had the same last name as their neighbors and mail was frequently switched around between the two mailboxes that were across the same dirt road from one another. My grandfathers father finally got fed up with this problem one year and had an extra letter added to our last name. Problem solved - for him. For the rest of our family, we have been sentenced to a life where we must spell our last name for everyone as there is zero hope of them getting it right phonetically.
lol - yep, small world, and funny story about your family name!
I flew into Mangum a couple of years ago and we drove out to their old homestead scouting for turkeys and hogs. Anyway - back to the original post and begging forgiveness for the side track!
